Vidyadhar Bagh — Attraction in Jaipur Municipal Corporation

The Vidyadhar Garden was built in the year 1988 in memory of Jaipur’s chief architect, Vidyadhar Bhattacharya and is designed according to the principles of ‘Shilpa Shastra’, the science of Indian architecture. Shilpa Shastra is based on the Hindu principles and standards of designs, crafts, and arts which include paintings, pottery, making sculptures, wall as well as stone murals, textile designing and many more formats.

The architect was among the favourites of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh for the reason because he could make visual wonders with his elaborate designs and architecture.

Architectural Layout of Vidyadhar Garden Jaipur The design layout and architecture of Vidyadhar garden is a mix of Mughal, Rajasthani as well as classical Indian architecture. The intricate designs and patterns on the pavilion walls are influenced by Hindu mythology, especially from the life of Lord Krishna.

Like all other Mughal influenced gardens, Vidyadhar Garden is also famous for fountains, flower beds and well- maintained gardens. There are terraced lawns, lakes with crystal clear water, and majestic pavilions that give out the real essence of the ornate frescoes that don the walls of the pavilions. While the murals depict stories from Hindu mythology, the intricate lattice work engraved on the walls along with the mirror work and terraced flower beds give away the exact feel and essence of the Mughal architecture.

The entire landscape of the garden speaks volumes about the amalgamation of two cultures with respect to design, architecture and art. There are courtyards between palace complexes and each one of the three palace complexes, namely the Vidyadhar palace, the Neela Mahal and the Raj Niwas, have their own separate colour scheme with varied designs. The gardens are sectioned between the complexes and are also very well manicured. The pavilions, courtyards, palaces and chhatris blend in extremely well with the surrounding hills.

A modern restaurant is built near the Vidyadhar palace and Neela Mahal. It is done up to match the taste of royalty and is worth a visit. Though a bit on the expensive side, when it comes to budget, the food served is authentic and certainly worth the...

Vidyadhar Garden is very widely known tourist spot of Jaipur. This amazing construction was erected in the memory of Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, who was the designer of the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur. As a head modeler to Maharaja Sawai Man Singh, the engineer was famous all over the Jaipur for his plans, involved structural planning and the expertise with which he could make visual miracles. The place was constructed in 1988 and it was designed keeping in mind “Shilpa Shastra”. According to some historians belief, during ancient times the garden was used to be a vineyard in the vicinity of the Sisodia gardens.

What people know as Vidyadhar Garden is not worth visiting only because of maintenance of Garden or variety of plants but for its being an ideal blend of palaces, chhatris, garden and surrounding hills. It is delight for photographers and gives beautiful photographs from almost all angles.

This attraction is on way to Sissodiya Garden or Galta Temple and is much better then Sissodiya Garden in my opinion. There is entry ticket of Rs 50. While coming from Jaipur it will be on right side. Though from outside it appears that there is no parking space but you will find plenty of space inside to park your vehicle. The garden is spread along hills and Jaipur-Agra road on both sides of parking. You may start your visit from any part but I found the Eastern Half or the one away from Jaipur City more photogenic. The Western Half is Vidyadhar Garden and Eastern one is Raj Niwas Garden. There are facilities available in both halves. Avoid sunny days in summers. However, on a cloudy day during rains or during winters you can even spend whole day here. There is no food stall anywhere in the garden so come prepared with your own eatbles but please do not litter. I found it attractive perhaps also because it was clean and it was clean because not many people visit this garden. The Raj Niwas Garden is having greater area and is terraced garden with several levels. Unlike Sisodiya Garden, noth these gardens do not have Cycas. Alstonia is predominant tree in...
